Autographs will cost $80 on photos and mini-helmets and $90 on footballs, helmets, jerseys and other equipment.
Fans who can't make it to the store can place their order over the phone and have the merchandise shipped.
Cardboard Memories has been in business for 20 years, and about three and a half years at its current location. The business spent 17 years in East Northport before moving to its current location at 6401 Jericho Turnpike.

This is a great store because you have an owner that truly truly cares about their customers. Scott , the onwer is welling to bant over back wards for his customers because he cares. We are in ression now and for a store to be around for 21 years really makes it stand out from the rest. After spoken with the owner of the store, because some minor issues I had at the Mario Manningham signing event. He genuinely and sincerely called me and apologized for the bad experience my wife and I went through. We both agree the problem was Manninham and his agent and his people. Bottom line is we should support all our local busniess because it's how you get the encomey rolling and creating jobs!!

Paying $80 or more for an autograph? You kidding? Why don't you donate that money or help a family in need!

I guess you don't know anything about signing event. It's Manningham making the money. Store owner has to get a little cut right? Nothing is free now days . Example.. An authentic football helmet cost $100 right? After the signature is worth about $300-$350 without braking a sweat. So there its investment really. The owner has his own charity he donates to so I don't know why you complaining.
